DATE: December 8, 1992 WATER QUALITY SEC
SUBJECT: Division of Environmental Management 401 Water Quality Certification
Review for the Military Ocean Terminal at Sunny Point, Brunswick County,
Southport, North Carolina.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) has completed a
review of the proposed project and evaluated possible impacts on fisheries, wildlife, and
wetland resources in the project area. A site inspection was conducted on December 2,
1992. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), Section 401-b of the
Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended), and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-
131 et seq.).
The Military Ocean Terminal at Sunny Point (MOTSU) is requesting permit
authorization to construct a ditch 3 feet deep, 5 feet wide, and 425 feet long in 404 wetlands
adjacent to Govenor's Creek in Brunswick County near Southport. The ditch will drain
approximately 8 acres of wetlands adjacent to an existing ball field and proposed golf
driving range. Spoil generated by the project will remain on-site adjacent to the open ditch.
The purpose of the project is to drain a low lying area of the ballfield which accumulates
rainfall following heavy storm events.
The project area consists of wooded wetlands and is considered a "404" jurisdictional
area by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. These wetlands provide numerous functions
which benefit the Dubhc as well as fish and wildlife. These functions include retention and
purification of stormwater runoff and providing valuable habitat for numerous species of
fish and wildlife. These wetlands play a major role in the overall biological productivity of
adjacent waters. Based on the loss of over 8 acres of 404 wetlands and the associated
potential impacts to wildlife resources, we recommend that water quality certification for
the proposed project be denied. In addition, we believe that this 'project is inconsistent
with the Environmental Protection Agency's Section 404 (b) (1) guidelines in that the
? ''

,?:, ?„?,
rs: + ¢
?: ? #
:,..?..,,,,x? ? ,
! ' ? ' 't'

project does not constitute a water dependent activity. Therefore, we object to the draining
of these wetlands for purely recreational purposes. However, if certification is not
withheld, then we recommend that all spoil material be deposited outside wetlands.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this 401 Water Quality
Certification application. I we can provide further assistance, please contact NCWRC
Habitat Conservation Program Manager Dennis L. Stewart at [phone] or (919) 733-
3633.
